Here is the second installment in our 3-part video series entitled Getting Started with vSphere Web Client Programming which will provide some insights as well as some deep-dive training and step-by-step demonstrations and examples of how you can setup a platform for developing your own solutions for the vSphere Web Client.

This video explains the fundamentals of creating vSphere Web Client (VWC) User Interface (UI) extensions. It does this by examining the code in the HelloWorld samples from the VWC SDK (Software Development Kit) and:

Showing the syntax for creating UI extensions in the plugin.xml file

Viewing and explaining the Flex code in the Application files

Viewing and explaining the ActionScript code in the ModuleClasses.as file

Viewing and explaining the role of View Classes in the context of Global View extensions

Build, load, and test their extensions, including building localization resources for their plugin

Note: As these three videos are aimed at providing a full class-room like training experience of the subject matter, the videos are actually quite long in duration with each video ranging between 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Note: For best viewing results, ensure that the 720p setting is selected and view in full screen mode.
